INDEXORD()


Syntax:     INDEXORD()

Purpose:    To determine the position of the controlling index in the
            list of index files opened by the last USE...INDEX or SET
            INDEX TO in the current work area.

Returns:    An integer numeric value.

            INDEXORD() returns the position of the controlling index in
            the list of open index files.  A value of zero indicates
            there is no controlling index and you are accessing the
            current database file in natural order.

Usage:      INDEXORD() is useful to record the last controlling index
            allowing you to restore that order sometime later.

Library:    CLIPPER.LIB
